Молодец! Достоин уважение, всё своими руками.

[@jfreire386]

Great work! Thanks to you my Peugeot 206 is still cruising the roads! Thanks a lot for your precious help!

[@Elaba_]

You didn't have to send the engine to the machine shop?

[@acdc9324]

Большой молодец мужчина. Подробно показал,рассказал и всё своими руками без мата сделал! А какой у мужчины порядок и в гараже и в голове. Одним словом Европейское качество. До которого нашим так называемым сервисменам очень,очень далеко. Сегодня покажу же покажу своему мастеру. Думаю,что он всё поймёт и без перевода на русский. Ещё раз мой респект дяденьке!

[@irina25661]

большое спасибо за коментар. У видео есть русские субтитры, включайте и большой привет мастеру

The square tool for the timing belt tensioner... It's actually the same size as the sump plug, so the same tool can be used. The bolts tying the exhaust manifold to the downtube tends to be a rusted mess, so spraying them with penetrating oil of some sort a few times the day before you start the job is a good idea. On my Berlingo, I removed the coil pack first, then removed the throttle wire and bracket holding it afterwards. No need to mess with counting the grooves. (A lot of the wires and tubing you remove on the car in the video can be left in place on the Berlingo) When lifting the top lid, be careful about the two spacers that goes between the lid and the 'splash guard'. They have a distressing habit of either ending up between the rockers, or on the floor, directly under the car. I wish I knew about the oven cleaner trick when I did this on my Berlingo... As you write, bolts can be reused if they're not too stretched, but new bolts are cheap, and comes with most good kits. (If only one bolt is stretched too much, all needs to be replaced) Why risk a bolt shearing off in the block? Or thrashing the threads... I notice this engine is a 'pre 2003' model. They introduced revision with an auto-tensioner in 2003. (the belt and water pumps are different on the revised model. Just a note to people to check this before ordering) I can't see any mention of the fuel injectors or the High-Pressure reservoir? Quick tips for anyone doing this job: Leave them in place! Only unhook the fuel line(s) from the reservoir. The green plug 'under' the inlet manifold(3 prongs) is the only cable needed to disconnect the injectors from the wiring loom. If you do remove the reservoir(the long plastic tube across the injectors), you have to replace the seals. So leave them well enough alone. Your torque angle gauge is better than mine... Can we get a brand/model name? TU3 JP engines are notoriously difficult when it comes to bleeding the coolant system for trapped air. It REALLY helps to jack up the front lefthand corner... Jack it high, then a bit higher still... The top of the cavity around the cylinders is slightly higher than the connecting passage to the thermostat housing where the bleed screw is situated.

[@princetonelliott9496]

@Jaxx Gianni Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@princetonelliott9496]

@Jaxx Gianni it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@jaxxgianni1008]

@Princeton Elliott Happy to help =)

[@nickbaker9746]

Thank you! This is an excellent video. After much searching to no avail, I finally find the TU engine's cylinder block timing hole, clearly shown, thanks to you. For this alone you receive my 10/10. :-)

[@mikhailchyorny7275]

Thank you very much. from Malaysia. I agree, this is common problem for 206.

[@GKMusik1]

Great vid, made the job so easy! Thanks so much for the upload. For cleaning the head I went with 400 then 600 grit wet dry, and plenty of 'gunk'. Worked a treat!

[@olvinabarca]

I have a Peugeot 206 and I love this video!! Thank you.

[@JRobin.]

Vielen Dank für diese geniale ausführliche Anleitung, ohne die wäre ein ZKD Wechsel nicht denkbar gewesen 😁

[@wobblyrod779]

excellent video Jürgen :-) Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce it. IF I do this job myself it will be a great help. Thank you again :-)

[@biatcheeez]

Thank you so mich for this video. I changed the head gasket on my Citroen C4 1.4 8v and so far 400km everything is fine ;)

[@fidanbajrami3286]

[@steveeyre6271]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this problem, only small thing missing was how to bleed the system after you re-fill as the expansion bottle is not highest point in engine and I think there is a technique you must know about. 5 stars!!

[@irina25661]

Steve Eyre Hi, thanks for the comment. There is another video on replacing the water pump at the same car, There the procedure with the cooling liquid is shown in more details. Regards, Jürgen

[@oyvindhaave]

Nice video! Also at 2:10 you can see how a new serpentine belt should be mounted after the old one has just disappeared.....

[@dexpower90]

jako pedantno uradjeno. svaka cast

[@irina25661]

The direction of the drive belt doesn't matter if you use a new belt, But I reused the old belt, thus it is better to mark the durection it was running and to mount it again in the same direction,

[@chevy790]

need c/head gasket replaced on citreon c3 2002 1.4hdi 16v-(its not gone completely but needs doing asap)----in your opinion how long should this take?(they are going to replace t/belt at same time)---one garage said all day job another quoted 6 hrs---another 5 hrs--quotes between £450----£600?---would appreciate your valued opinion on this thanks

[@irina25661]

Hi, the offers are rather close, I would say, that everything less than a day is already fast. It depends how much time is needed for cleaning. If there is already oil in the water or water in the oil, you need already many hours for cleaning,

[@matthart766]

irina25661 Hi The head gasket on my 1.4 peugeot 306 needs replacing would this video apply to it as well?

[@irina25661]

HI John, it should be more or less the same. The 306 has also the TU3 engine, Regards, Jürgen

Hi, first off, Thanks a lot for your excellent video tutorials. Question: Should I replace the 10 long bolts by new ones or I can use the old ones without implicating in low torque? Regards from Brazil.

[@irina25661]

Hi, i used new bolts for the head. In principle you may reuse the bolts if they are not stretched more than 1 mm. I measured my old bolts and all had been stretched nuch less than 1 mm. Greetings, Jürgen

Hi. I tried to use "Steel Seal" but it did not work. So I have removed the head but the water jackets are full of gunk and water. What is the best easy way to flush the water jackets? Regards

[@irina25661]

Hi, such "wonder materials" are always rubbish. You mount the engine with the new seal and then you run it several times with a mixture of water and cold cleaner. The several times with pure water and the cleaning kob is done. Greetings, Jürgen

[@koJIRH]

good job man

[@darthvalkyr]

Think I can rule out a head gasket failure. My rocker gasket has perished and leaks all over. There is a hissing, so the vacuum is suffering loss. I'm guessing this is drawing in cold moist air into my rocker cover and causing slightly milky oil (sump oil is clean, no engine overheat and coolant isn't going down). Wondering if the TU3 engine has a PCV valve somewhere as it might need testing to make sure it didn't cause the rocker seal to blow?

[@perfianer]

Respekt saubere Arbeit bin auch Mechaniker aber so sauber habe ich ehrlich gesagt noch nie eine Dichtfläche gemacht ausser bei meinen eigen KFZ vielleicht.

[@irina25661]

Hallo, es war mein eigenes Fahrzeug. Spaß beiseite, ich wurde schon oft kritisiert, weil ich die Köpfe nicht plane. Wenn man sie so putzt, und der Kopf nicht durch einen Hitzeschaden verzogen ist, geht das ohne Probleme. Es dauert halt eine Weile, bis man die Flächen ohne Kratzer so sauber bekommt. In der Werkstatt mag es durchaus billiger sein, den Kopf zu planen. Viele Grüße, Jürgen

[@perfianer]

Ich kritisiere ja nicht ich meine damit was du dir für eine Mühe gibst.

[@irina25661]

Hallo, nicht Du, in der Vergangenheit wurde öfters behauptet, man müsse unbedingt planen. Viele Grüße, Jürgen

[@perfianer]

wieso kann man ja nachprüfen ob er verzogen ist ich selbst plane nur im Notfall und was hilft ein geplanter Kopf wenn der block schief ist.

[@wacky0pker]

Is the valve clearance adjustment necessary when changing the head gasket & timing belt? If so, why? Some posts have suggested it shouldn't be necessary. However, is it just a case of they are easily accessible therefore you might as well check them.

[@irina25661]

+Chris M The mount of the valves is fixed with the cylinder head bolts to the head. Most of valves have been out of range. Greetings, Jürgen

[@calasmallorca1183]

34 thousand km and head gasket problems? Check if you are having overheating problems. Also I would rather use 100% pure Peugeot coolant. Great video!!

[@irina25661]

Hi, the head gasket is a usual problem of this engine. The Peugeot coolant isn't available in small quantities in Germany. I see no argument why I shouldn't use the coolant of VW. Greetings, Jürgen

[@Sco0bY91]

What do you think about replacing old head bolts with a new ones one by one (Unscrew old one (starting from the middle (with the same sequence as on the video)), screw new one with 20 Nm -> 120 angle -> 120 angle) and do the same to the rest 9 bolts? Maybe it will stop the leak. My head is leaking and I could screw head bolts by couple of mm using 85 Nm torque (it means that bolts are loosen! I'm sure there should be more than 100 Nm). Maybe head gasket is OK, but bolts are loosen. It's an old car and I just want to stop the leak with the cheapest option. If it won't work, then it's going to be sold to scrap. I'm waiting for your reply!

[@RichardSmith-wg8fh]

I have oil in the water but no water in the oil. Head gasket? Very good presentation, thanks.

[@irina25661]

Hi, most probably it's the head gasket. The head gasket separates all what comes together in an engine. What you find after a break where, just depends where the gasket broke. Greetings, Jürgen

[@peterrodens5494]

I've just bought a hose clamp tool as with pliers they are a job to do

[@FunBitesTV]

Hi is the headgasket weak on all of the engines? Have you heard that the old alloy blocks ( ) iron blocks are stronger?

[@irina25661]

+FlatDreams Hi, about the blocks I know nothing, but the broken head gasket is a common problem. Regards, Jürgen

[@FunBitesTV]

Thanks Jürgen :)

[@Innoviel]

Ich hab eine Frage, wir mussten bei meinem 206er auch die ZKD neu machen und dementsprechend auch den Kühler, der dadurch kaputt ging. Alles zusammengebaut haben wir festgestellt, dass das Mettalerne- Verbindungsstückt beim Thermostatgehäuse leckt. der Schlauch müsste einegtlich richtig drin stecken, auch die Klammer ist richtig dran, aber trotzdem tropft das Wasser nur so durch. Woran liegt das?

De donde salen los pernos de 10mm y 8mm, aparecen por arte de magia? Gracias!

[@StromboliKicks]

Hi, can you tell me what's that plug/connector behind the exhaust flange (at 21:38). My Peugeot 206 is a 1.1i TU1JP HFX and It doesn't have that. It has a hollow hex plug/bolt only. I've been trying to find where the engine block coolant drain bolt is but I can't find any information online. I don't know if it's on the front or the back of engine block. I wonder if it's that bolt? Thanks for the video, looks very complicated job.

[@irina25661]

Hi, this is the oxygen sensor of the catalytic converter- Greetings, Jürgen

[@StromboliKicks]

@@irina25661 I meant the one attached to the engine block not the oxygen sensor. It looks like it has a white plug or connector. Thanks.

[@christiaanbezuidenhout6984]

Hi, I'd like to know if the Timing belt tensioner can go bad? Since it's not spring loaded, but manually adjusted. Mine is set to max but is still not making the belt really stiff. I have the correct belt installed (104 teeth).

[@irina25661]

Hi, do you have also the right tensioner for the 104 teeth belt? Also the pulley the water pump can be different. I buy the parts always as set ro avoid this problem. Greetings, Jürgen

[@christiaanbezuidenhout6984]

Thanks Jürgen, I'll look into that. Another question: Can the Crankshaft pully, turn on the crankshaft? ie., if the centre bolt on the pulley is loosened, can the pulley turn, or does it lock in position with the crankshaft?

[@irina25661]

Hi, actually I don't know. I never loosened the central bolt of the crankshaft on this engine. Greetings, Jürgen

[@therealestt5760]

Good video!

[@rubenyoranpc]

Ive seen a few of the tu3 vids of your by now, and I must say your engine and engine bay is very clean. How many kms are on the car and how did you keep it this clean?

[@irina25661]

Hi, no special cleaning, just low mileage and clean roads. The car has only 40000 km in 19 years. The ladies drive it for shopping. Greetings, Jürgen

[@DPulse51]

Hi Sir, I have a Citroen C3 1.4i 8v model year 2004 with 75 HP with blown head gasket. The problem is I have a couple of different thickness gaskets to choice from but don't know which is closest to the original one. Because I'm not going to resurface the engine/head only cleaning like you. Which one should I pick ? Reinz 1.3 mm thick head gasket Reinz 1.5 mm thick head gasket Ajusa 1.25 mm thick head gasket Ajusa 1.6 mm thick head gasket

[@irina25661]

Hi, unfortunatelly I don't know the thickness of the orignal gasket. For me the 1,3 and the 1,25 are identical let's call them the thin gasket. The same for the 1,5 and 1.6 mm gaskets, let 's call them the thick gasket. If the engine is not machined (milling or grinding) you should use the thin one. If the head is machined you may use the thick gasket. Greetings, Jürgen

I noted in mine that rocker arm is not perfectly laying on the head surface because it is always pressing a valve. No matter which piston is at top. Can I bolt it anyway?
